Planet Name: Murien
Planet Type: terrestrial
Habitable: Type II atmospheres
System: Inner Rim
Terrain Overview: Flat plains, swamps, small mountains and small pine forests
Notable Geographic Features:
The Great marsh: Occupying the sixty percent of Murien surface, the great marsh is the largest and only body of water in the planet. The great marsh is a giant plain of swamp lands with a the rare sight of an abandoned settlement or farm. (CLICK)
Hell's gate: the only mountain range in Murien, Hell's gate is also the focus of a strange weather phenomenon that makes the sky look red around the mountain and parts of the ground seem to shine red due to the fungi growing in several parts that emit a strange shine. It is the site of constant wind and rain. The gate is also a force nexus tainted by the dark side which causes the weather phenomena. It is also the site of an abandon weather station and there is a cave complex below the mountain which has become the nesting den of the Gundark population of the planet.Click
The red forest:
A large "pine" forest found south of the Hell's gate and next to the East gate research station. Due to the soil and nutirents found on the ground the trees leaf's have a red pigmantation There is also a large abandoned raw material processing plant in the middle of the forest next to a Iron mine. link
East Gate station
A series of canyons located near the Red forest, it is also the site of the East gate station a small military outpost. Most recently the mercenaries that took over the world have began to use this facility as a live fire area for training and other purposes. link
Capital City: North gate:
A former republic military outpost with a small city built around it. After Murien abandonment, the city slowly fell into deterioment and the only buildings of note are a large crashed frigate which has become the main part of the city and the large military base which has recently taken over by a large group of mercenaries who are slowly brining the base back to life. North gate is the only spaceport in the planet
Major cities:
South Gate: A small settlement with no more than one hundred buildings and one medium size corporate building. South gate is the smallest settlement in Murien and the mercenaries who took over the world use it as a supply depo.
West Gate: A large mining complex with a mining town. Being used as a repair and manufacturing plant by the Mercenaries.
Sentient species: Emigrant species
Non-Sentient species of note:
Flesh: A omnivore mammal and the most common sight on Murien. They are familial creatures and will form packs to travel, typically numbering five or six fleshes. They are used as cattle by the inhabitants of the planet but are also seen in the wild where they are slightly aggressive when corned. They are the most common prey for the planet predators. link
Rak: The undisputed deadliest predator in Murien. The Rak looks like a mix between a hairless dog and a humanoid standing taller than a pony, they are extremely fast and strong and can easily rip a person in half with one swing from their massive claws. They hunt everything they can find from small gizkas to gundarks, and are usually seen on their own or in pairs. The Raks mate for life and rarely leave their partners. They are nocturnal predators link

History:
Twenty years before the start of the mandalorian wars, Murien was used as a small military outpost and mining planet. Ten years before the mandalorian wars, Murien saw a increase in settlers and small trades which prompted the republic to start making urban development. Murien started to grow from a back watered planet into a small active mining colony.
Once the mandalorian wars started Murien urban budget was cut and the world began to decline and over the course of one hundred years the world grew more and more poor. Until eventually it became den for thief's and pirates with the odd farmer who refused to move on.
For years Murien declined until it was completely abandoned save for the occasional smuggler or pirate trying to lay low. Two hundred years ago a frigate crash landed on the planet, the ship carried a large number of animals. With the only ones thriving on Murien being Gundarks and the banthas aside from the Gizka who survive the crash.
During the year 3759 BBY the corporate alliance attempted to colonize the planet and built a weather station and south gate which was used as a small obscure administrative center but after twenty years the alliance pull out of the planet not willing to loose more funds on the planet.
In 3606 BBY North gate became the haven for a group of refugees who made the crash frigate their home. In 3604 BBY a large band of mercenaries known as Hlaalu guild took over the world and using north gate as their main base of operation have began to slowly bring life to Murien and are attracting a growing number of settlers and refugees who have start to work for the Guild owing much of the current progress of the world to them.
